Prior to this change, when a cell was clocked, it was always computed with prior values of referred-to cells. This had the effect, for example, of making cells defined only with a base expression as a total of a column, for example, to be out-of-date in that they would take on the value of total of the prior values of the column, not the new current values of the column. This behavior was very counterintuitive. With this change, updates of cells that have no clocked expression are delayed until after clocked expressions have been recomputed based on prior values and their cells' current values have been updated. Then the computations of those base-only cells use all of the new current values, leaving the spreadsheet in a (maximally) self-consistent state. |

This current development version has the following features:
- curses based user interface with easy to understand menus
- FLTK 1.3 based GUI following common user interface conventions
- Cross-platform compatibility
- UTF-8 support
- portable ASCII sheet file format
- tbl, LaTeX, HTML, CSV or formatted text files can be generated and simple SC and WK1 sheets can be imported
- typed expression evaluator with the types int, bool, float, string, error, location of cell, keyword, expression, style, and empty
- iterative expressions
- powerful cell addressing
- three-dimensional sheets
- new expression evaluator functions can be added very easily
- cell styles either set manually or computed based on the values in the sheet
- a user guide, available as PDF and HTML
- It is still a small and simple program!
teapot should work on any system which supports the following:
- ANSI C
- An XDR library (included in tirpc, otherwise use http://people.redhat.com/~rjones/portablexdr/ )
- For the text interface: SYSV curses or ncurses library
- For UTF-8 in the text interface: libncursesw and a UTF-8 locale
- For the FLTK interface: C++
- For the FLTK interface: FLTK 1.3
A GNU zipped tar file of the prior release V 2.3.0 is available from:
